Yes, might be.  But is it the best thing if you must retain
compatibility with MS Office?

And by package I mean binary package with filters as libraries or
compiled into one single binary.
The CONVERTERONLY compile option could take care of it.  I can
experiment a bit in my free time,
but volunteers are welcome because I still have a big TODO list
related to filters.
